Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 17

7 ounces (half of a 14-ounce block) extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion (about 1/2 small onion)
1 medium clove garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil (divided)
1 thumb-sized knob ginger (peeled and minced) (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 cups cooked brown rice (I like brown Basmati rice) (cold, day-old rice is best)
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 cup frozen peas
2-3 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
Chopped chives or other herbs
Chopped scallions
Sriracha sauce
Cooked and crumbled bacon
Diced avocado

Steps:

  • Set the tofu on a large cutting board and mash with a potato masher or fork until it's crumbled. Set aside.
  • Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil. When hot, add the onion. Saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute.
  • Add one tablespoon of the sesame oil, then add the ginger, smoked paprika, turmeric, and mashed tofu. Cook, stirring until the spices are well-incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Add the remaining sesame oil and the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice sizzles and is thoroughly warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the corn, peas, and Tamari (or soy sauce) and cook until the veggies are warm, about one more minute.
  • Taste and add additional Tamari or soy sauce if desired.
  • Serve topped with chopped chives or other herbs of choice, chopped scallions, or even a little crumbled bacon for the carnivores' portions if you like. We like to pass the Sriracha with this fried rice, as well.
